Since this is the tenth anniversary of the Riverpark Open, day 1 will be classic Riverpark settings. That means all baskets will be in their original settings. Most will be short settings with a few exceptions: #5, 8, & 17. Day 2 will be switched over to alternate pin placements. Holes 11 and 16 will go to the medium setting. Tee-pads will play as follow: Adv Men - Red/Yellow/Yellow; Adv Masters, Grand Masters, Women, Women Masters, & Int Men - Yellow/Yellow/Yellow; Int Women & Juniors - Blue/Blue/Blue. Don't forget about Early Check-in on Friday at 2 pm. 208 Discs will be hosting a random draw doubles at 4:30 pm. Saturday morning check-in starts at 7 am with Player's meeting at 8 am. I know, this is early. However, it is necessary in order to get the day 1 done in a reasonable time frame. I will also need volunteer help to move baskets after the 2nd round. Let me know if you have any questions. The course is getting some major upgrades. This should be an exciting year.

Huktoberfest alive...in Wyoming

Troy is keeping Huktoberfest alive this year. It will be in Pinedale on the same weekend it was scheduled for. October 13th. He will be releasing more info. Also, the night tournament has been salvaged as well. PVDGC up in Pocatello was already running a night event on October 27th. We are combining efforts to make it the old Disc Golf Halloween Haunt. 2 rounds of 13 holes in the dark. Night Flight Disc Golf out of Florida is sponsoring and PVDGC has a bunch of sponsorship already. Its worth the trip! Thanks to Troy and PVDGC for stepping in!

Huktoberfest Cancelled

This is very disheartening news. Cache County Fairgrounds informed me yesterday that the fairgrounds will not be available to us for Huktoberfest. When we met before, there was a group that had the park reserved but the officials assumed we could co-exist. After discussion, we can't co-exist and we were not first to reserve, so we got the boot. I scrambled to find a weekend that would work but the next available date was in November. I talked to Andrew Sweeton of the PDGA and we agreed ...

This is very disheartening news. Cache County Fairgrounds informed me yesterday that the fairgrounds will not be available to us for Huktoberfest. When we met before, there was a group that had the park reserved but the officials assumed we could co-exist. After discussion, we can't co-exist and we were not first to reserve, so we got the boot. I scrambled to find a weekend that would work but the next available date was in November. I talked to Andrew Sweeton of the PDGA and we agreed to cancel would be the best way to go.

If you are one of the 5 who have pre-registered, I will get your money back immediately. The fairgrounds admitted some responsibility and reserved us for next year for free. So, expect it to be on in October 2013!

If any of you could do me a favor and take down any flyers you may see, that would be appreciated.

I apologize and promise not to bite of more than I can chew and not to be so flaky in the future.

Brigham City Clash This Weekend

Today is the last day to pre-register for the Brigham City Clash although there will be registration available the day of the event from 7:30am - 9:00am. It should be a nice and easy day in the park! We will have 6 mini holes set up that are part of the mini pot, but not part of your regular score. Mini pot is $5 and the winner will get a Innova DisCatcher Sport Basket!! CTP's are extra and ace pot is $2. All holes are at John Adams Park!! All registrants get a GSS Stamped DX Aviars. I think we still have Teebirds and Rocs left too.

Its a great mountain course that we are trying to get installed. The more support, they better! Bring bug spray and water. Me, Caleb, and the resort have spent many hours designing, mapping, weed wacking and mowing. Please support us up here. The resort chef is making tacos ans selling drinks at lunch. You can get a good lunch for around $6. We are having the awards ceremony on the restaurant deck and they will have drinks and food available in this shady spot. You can reserve a room if you want to stay a night before or after.

Riverpark Romp

I still have 48 spots left for the Riverpark Romp so I wouldn't worry too much about pre-registering. Day of registration is available from 7:30am - 9:00am. I wouldn't wait until 8:45 to register in case there is a rush of registrations that morning. Player packs are GSS stamped DX Rocks for all AM divisions.

Brigham City League Cancelled Rest Of Year

Due to complications with Brigham City, we are moving the Wednesday league to Von Baer Park in Cache Valley. The city wanted us to pay fees and obtain insurance to continue to run the league at John Adams Park. I want to be very clear. The city was willing to meet us somewhere in the middle on fees to use the park for league. The problem is that they also require insurance. I'm not saying that we couldn't raise the money to continue league. I think we certainly could. In the end, this ...

Due to complications with Brigham City, we are moving the Wednesday league to Von Baer Park in Cache Valley. The city wanted us to pay fees and obtain insurance to continue to run the league at John Adams Park. I want to be very clear. The city was willing to meet us somewhere in the middle on fees to use the park for league. The problem is that they also require insurance. I'm not saying that we couldn't raise the money to continue league. I think we certainly could. In the end, this was my decision. I decided to move it because the problems with Brigham City have been escalating for many years and I personally don't want to deal with it anymore. I'm tired. The other reason is because we have an opportunity to restore the successful league we had in Cache Valley again. I am sorry. If there is anyone who wants to take over and continue to run Brigham City League in my absence, get ahold of me and also attend a meeting I have with Brigham City on Tuesday, May 15th, at 1:00pm. I hope to see you all at either Riverpark or Von Baer!

Pre-Register!!

I could really use your help on the Farm Friz. TD's have to put out alot of money for player's packs, scorecards, etc... and I'm so tight right now I don't have enough of my own money to order discs for Farm Friz. So, please, if you know you are going, pre-register!! You can do it on this site or with me in person. Thank you NUDGA!!

Nudga Meeting

We discussed the monthly series that Mook is running. The first event will be Farm Friz Fest May 26th. Riverpark Open is now open for registration on the PDGA website only. This will be pre-registration only! Registration will close June 1st. If you need help obtaining a pre-paid credit card, we can help you through this process.
Next meeting is April 21st, 6:30 pm, at Rick's.

Please get registered for Wizards

This year's Wizards is expected to fill. It has grown every year, so get registered to ensure a spot. If anyone has baskets or mini baskets and can bring them, please message me to get a count on baskets. I need at least 6 more baskets and 5 more mini baskets. Only plastic minis are allowable to throw, so leave metal, etc. minis home. Get some putter practice in this week, and we will see you all in Brigham for WW7!

Also on the agenda was work days. May 19th is the first scheduled work day. We may have some earlier providers the conditions cooperate. The goal is to attack the tee-pads. If anyone has any information on possible donations for materials please let us know. We also are still looking for a Title Sponsor for the Riverpark Open. This sponsor will be immortalized in Nudga history, their logo on the disc, and all other honors that go along with such a sponsorship. We are in the process of becoming a non-profit organization. This a great selling point when shopping for sponsors.

Remember this is your club. What makes it great are the people involved. Next meeting is March 10th at 6:30 pm.

The registration will be open tonight and will close on March 14th. Get your Wizzy on!!

Nudga Meeting

This is an exciting time to be a Nudga! Last night we discussed many things in the future of this organization. Mook will be running this year's Eyes On the Prize monthly series. Look for updates on this to come. Shane and Lex will be running Tuesday Doubles. Kent is working on the Non-profit situation. Which will make sponsorship that much easier. Speaking of sponsors, we need sponsors! We need every Nudga to be asking businesses and local community programs for any donations. Next meeting will be February 18th 6:30 at Rick's.

Bad news in BC

Brigham City is moving basket 1 and Teepad 2 due to trespassing, smoking, and swearing. The neighbors are still complaining. If you want to ace either of those holes, better play them reeeal soon. Its a bummer that so few often ruin things for so many.

Future NUDGA tournaments

I feel compelled to inform all NUDGA members that I have decided to resign as tournament director due to overwhelming circumstances beyond my control. My main reason for announcing this is to open the door for anyone who would like to put on a tournament but didn't want to step on any toes, be assured that my toes are well protected now so go ahead. The Ace Race is a good one to get your feet wet, Monthly's are pretty casual also. I'd like to see more tourneys and had big plans ho ...

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. NUDGA forever!!.... Rod Hess

John Adams Parking

Brigham City has had complaints from the neighbors on 600 East about the parking. They would like us to use the big parking lot on the south side and start on hole 4 from now on. The funny thing is, I had suggested the same thing to them two years ago and they thought it was a bad idea. So please park over on the south side of John Adams from now on. And please don't throw discs into the guy's yard by hole 1. It is not hard to keep your shot well away from his yard. If you do thr ...

If you do throw your disc over there, knock on his door and politely ask if you can use his gate and get your disc. If people continue to trespass and retrieve their discs we will have to resort to a lame hole 1 and move the basket, (Booooooo!). So if you have to play it safe and lay up on that hole, please do so. Thanks NUDGA.

New course install this Saturday in Brigham.

The plan is still to meet at 10AM to put out the baskets and get the course ready to play. Our tee pads are not here yet and we are still waiting for the funds for them. In the meantime, most of the pads are road base and should be good in any condition until we get the rubber mats. Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there, so Alex will be coordinating. Thanks John Z for the Friz Fest and for volunteering to bring the baskets down this Saturday. I hope everyone has a good time playing ...

I will work on a map and get it posted on the scene so anyone can print it off, I doubt it will be available until next week. I will work on getting the same thing for Riverpark before the RPO.

Brigham City course installation

May 21st we will be installing the baskets at the new course. The address is 1000 North 500 west, access is from 500 West. Come on out and help with the install if you can. The course will be playable and open once we are done. We are meeting at 10:00AM on 500 west. We will have a Polaris Ranger with a trailer to take the baskets around. All we need to do is some more trash cleanup and weed-eat some greens around the baskets. Bring weed-eaters, rakes, sheers, gloves, and a bag of discs. ...

It will be a fairly open course, but there will be one par 4, and a few 400' plus holes. Please come on time and we will bust it out in no time. Thanks NUDGA.

Work day in Brigham 9AM

Work day at Brigham May 7th.

The new course location is at 500 west 1000 North. There is a power substation surrounded by chain-link fence at the entrance. Once the course is installed, parking will only be allowed along 500 west. For the work day, we can drive in along the dirt road and park near the first hole. It sounds like next Saturday is the plan, May 7th. Maybe we could bring a few baskets and play a few holes, or all of them. Thanks ahead of time to those of you coming to help out. NEW COURSE!!!! Oh yeah!

New Brigham City Course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to need some mad NUDGAs to come help with a clean-up day at the new course location in Brigham. Weed-wackers, rakes, pruners, BIG garbage bags,and hard workers needed. We need to shine, Brigham City is watching this project closely.

Please show your support for the growth of the sport and come out and work. A few hours will make an enormous difference. Is this Saturday too short of notice? The following Saturday? Gimme some feedback NUDGA. This Saturday would be great for me.
The weekend after FFF we will be installing the course...and playing it!
